Synopsis

Keeping in mind the curricula of various institutes, the text of this present edition has been thoroughly revised and several new problems with solutions have been added to make it more competitive and useful for the students. Solutions to typical problems from statics and dynamics provide the reader sufficient capability for solving the problems of echanics. This book focuses on the basic concepts of Engineering Mechanics and provides fundamental information required for understanding advanced subjects based on mechanics. Importance of free-body diagrams for the analysis of problems explained. Three important methods for dynamic problems (i) Newton's second law of motion, (ii) Work-Energy method, and (iii) Impulse-Momentum method. More than 150 sample problems with solutions have been provided explaining the applications of important principles. Fundamentals of mechanical vibrations explained with free-body diagrams. Multiple choice questions.
